THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
As part of the general schome to
bring discredit upon Presidout
Roosovolt's ndminUtratton, two
New York papers have, within the
past week, given great prominenoe
to articles sadly at varianoa with
tlio facts but likely to be very
generally cironlated and believed.
The first of these appears In an
ostensibly republican paper, but one
dominated by Wall Street Interests
and pledged to defeat the nomina
tion of Mr. Roosevelt at the next
convention if 'that be possible.
These stories, which bear every
semblance of troth, are to the effect
that the president has inaugurated
a systematic investigation of the
relations between union labor and
the employes of all the executive
departments of the government
with a view to discrediting organiz
ed labor.
These stories are, however, entire
ly withont foundation as the presi
dent has not, nor does he intend to
order such an investigation. The
meager facts on which tne allega
tion is based have been related in
these letters before. After the
William Miller case in the govorn
' ment printing office was brought to
the special attention of the president
he wrote to Secretary Cortelyou a
letter pointing out tnat there was
no legal warrant for discrimination
between union Rnd non-union labor
In the exeoutive departments and
cited the decision of the Anthracite
Coal Btrike Commission as a princi
pal to be adopted. A copy of this
letter Mr. Hoosevelt caused to be
Bent to the head of each department
for his personal guidance, should a
similar question arise. In the course
of the discussion of the Miller inci
dent, representations were made to
the president that the cost of print
ing and binding in the government
office was excessive and it was
alleged that this was due to the
rales of the anions limiting the
daily output of eaoh of their mem
bers. Mr. Roosevelt then instructed
that an investigation of the methods
of the office be instituted and that
investigation has been quiotly and
thoroughly conducted by a com
mittee specially appointed for the
purpose. This committee, in the
oourse of its inquiry, asked of
various members of the cabinet,
their experiences with anion labor,
the request for information being
purely incidental to the investiga
tion thoy were conducting, and on
this flimsy protest is based the
allegation. The whole animus in
the Bories of Washington dispatches
printed by the paper referred to was
shown recently when side by side
'with the last of them was printed a
dispatch from Chicago saying that
the stationary engineers' anion had
pledged themselves to defeat Mr
Roosevelt, in the convention if
possible, but if not at the polls. The
hope of the publication printing
these dispatches is that the republi
can politicians may be led to believe
that the president has incurred the
enmity of the labor organisations
and that his nomination would
moan defeat for the party.
Another story, appearing in the
Washington dispatches of a demo
cratic paper of prominence, is to the
effect that Secretary Hitchcock has
been charged with corruption by the
Mayor of Lawton, Oklahoma, and
that the president is about to begin
an investigation of his secretary of
tha interior. The alleged corruption
lias been described in detail but may
be summarised as follows. It is
stated that Secretary Hitchoock,
after receiving a sum of several
hundred thousand dollars from the
sale of lota and improvements in the
towns of Lnwtou, Anadarke and
Hobart, caused the same to be
deposited in banks and trust compa
nies In St. Louis, the directors and
Stockholders of whioh worn frieuds
of the secretary, and that the
g)crelary had delayed the construc
tion of public improvements in those
towns, the cost of which it was
'intended thut these funds
dofruy, in order that his
might profit by the interest.
bhould
friends
When seen by our correspondent,
Secretary Hitchcock stated empha
tically that the fundi referred to
had all been placed in the United
BtaU'8 sub-treasury at St. Louis.
The dulay in constructing the desir
ed and needed improvements was
expiuiuod by Le fact that in practi
cally every instance honesty and
good judgment necessitated the
m of ti a lids ucvptod by the
local authorities and, in ordor that
creditable and permanent public
improvements might be bad, the
secretary sent to the scene exports
of the geological survey who are
now engaged in making surveys and
preparing specifications, such being
evidently needed to prevent the
erection of extensive water works in
locations where no adoquate water
supply Is obtainable, and similar
serious blunders.
The irresponsible character of the
allegations is still further shown by
the fact that the alleged "charges"
made to the president consisted
merely of a petition, reciting the
urgent necessity of the desired
public improvements, together with
the fact that the necessary funds
were in the hands of the secretary
of the interior and urging the
president to expedite the matter ir.
so far as he might Audit practicable.
No charge of fraud was contained
in the petition which the president
promptly forwardod to Seoretary
Hitchcock without reoommendation
or request for further information.
Discouraging news comes from
Oyster Bay with regard to the
proposed financial legislation. Bo
far from reaching an agreement
likety to prove acceptable to the
republican loaders of both bouses,
is the senate sub committee, that
the president has abandoned all idea
of urging upon Congress, in his
message to the special session, the
advfeiability of any form of financial
enactment. The members of the
subcommittee are still working, as
individuals, however, but with little
apparent prospeot of reaching any
agreement which will oommand
unanimous Bnpport.
No authentio news has been
received from Bogota regarding the
Panama canal treaty since the report
that it had been rejected, as drafted,
by the Columbian senate. The ad
ministration is still hopeful, how
ever, that the senate will reconsider
its actions as it has been known to
do under similar circumstances on
several previous occasions.
A Modern Pole Raising
Geo W. Vansickle, boss carpenter
of this locality, performed a stunt
that was very interesting for those
who had a chance to witness it,
Monday afternoon last. Having let
down the big 64 foot flag pole of the
Flat Brook Club about a week ago,
to be painted, and fitted with new
ground stays, he gave notice' that
Monday he would put it again in
position against time. At 2 o'clock
he commenced operation and In just
20 minutes by the watch it stood
erect without a hitoh or jerk I
remember that ten years ago with
about GO other men we labored a
whole afternoon with pikes, Bheer
poles and other devices to raise this
same pole. Today four men with
Carpenter Vansickle did it easily',
alone, in 20 minutes. With the
Mine derrick and powerful tackle
Mr. Vansickle can pick up a steel
windmill tower and Bet it on its
feet, or raise the heaviest bent of
any large building with 3 or 4 men
at the rope. It is a groat triumph
of skill and brain over brute force,
and while the new method is expe
ditious it is also perfectly safe, and
the work is under perfect control at
every stage. Uko. E. Hursii,

There lately appeared In the news
papers the following:
"Three Polanders, who could not
seak a word of English, were
recently sent to Bay State, Long
Island, tagged as express packages.
They had been shipped from New
York and were delivered In an
express wagon."
How long these "express packages"
have been floating Rbout In this
country Is not stated, but we are
reminded that In a short time these
"express packages" may, by a very
little coaching, be voting upon ques
tions of nutlonal Importance In this
country.

may not despise our rulers; and

Birthday Party
A very pleasant assein blage of
relatives and friends greeted Miss
Phoebe, eldest daughter of George
Holbert and wife, of Lackawaxen,
August 17, the occasion being the
celebration of the birthday of the
young lady. Many handsome tokens
of regard were tendered her and a
bountiful repast was provided which
II enjoyed. Those present were

Extension of Mail Route
The postmaster at Crosses having
resigned, T. N. Cross is oiroulating
a petition to have the office moved
and the route extended to a point
one and one half miles farther
sooth.
While this will make no incon
venience to any of the patrons of
the office, it will bring the mail
much more nearer to a number who
have heretofore found It necessary
to walk one and a half or two miles
to get their mail. The people in
rural districts depend largely on the
mail carrier for sending and getting
packages to and from town.
As this route runs direct from
Crosses to Hawley it would accomo
date a larger number of people and
at the same time make It no less
convenient for anyone we see no
reason why the department should
not grant as the extension.

And pot tod full many a brave.
Tom's sago advloe

So pnppooHes followed the orowd.
And he roamed far and wldo,
O'er the fair country side
And none to escape he allowod.
With a log for a trap,
Gave eaoh head a rap,
And added six scalds to the pile.
He felt pretty good,
Be it understood,
He was doing the work up In style.
Tom's father they'd killed
The white blood they'd spilled
Was avenged no odo onu dony.
And as Tom grew oluor,
He always grow bolder,
Determined tho Injuns must cllo.
He camped on the Knob,
And thinned out the mob,
In a mannor too good to be true.
For ho had no Intention,
Worth any mention,
Of anything olse ho must do.
At night by his Ore,
His scalp pile grown hlghor,
Ho counted them o'or with delight.
Each redskin ho found,
To the happy hunting ground.
DlRputchod him at onoe upon sight.
The Indians at last,
Left the country so fast,
Poor Tom traveled many a mile.
Tho' far up the river,
Theoold made him shiver.
He caught one once In awhile.
Ho got old and sick,
At fate he did kick.
His scalpn counted ninety and nine.
Yet one he did lack,
To QU his scalp sack,
Ere to death he in peace could resign.
But he ne'er got another,
Every son of his mother,
Kept diligently ont of his way.
So Torn had to go,
Leave Injuns below,
And never a hundred scalps say.

To Train Nurses
The Philadelphia School for Nurses
in alliance with the American
National Red . Cross has undertaken
to train a sufficient number of young
women who shall be subject to the
call of the Red Cross or the govern
ment for prompt nursing service in
the event of national calamities or in
case of war.
Co-incident with this plan an effort
will be made to carry nursing skill
and hospital knowledge Into small
towns and rural districts of Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland, by taking some of their
young women and training them In
this science.
This will secure the requisite
number of nurses for Red Cross work.
It will give a means of livelihood
to large numbers of most excellent
and deserving young women who
have but few opportunities, and at
the same time it will benefit thous
ands of homes by the spread of this
knowledge.
Every village and township in
nearby states may ultimately be
reached and helped in this way.
The undertaking involves the
expenditure of large sums of money,
but wealthy and influential men and
women In the four states named
stand ready to carry the plan to
fruition.
One hundred thousand dollars has
already been guaranteed and more
funds are assured.
The Special Committee represent
ing the movement is as follows:
Hon. William N. Ashman, Judge
of the Orphan's Court of Philadel
phia. lion. Nathan u. Hetiaener, rennsyi
vania State Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
Hon. Henry R. Edmunds, United
States Commissioner and President
of the Philadelphia Board of Educa
tion.
Mrs. Darwin R. James of New
York, President of the Women's
Board of Home Missions of the
Presbyterian Church.

Red Cross membership or to nursing
service in any capacity can get full
information by addressing The Phila

spoon Building, Philadelphia, Pa.
The movement is designed especial
ly to benefit young women in small
towns and rural communities.
